#18 MY WISHLIST
© Copyright Andrea Reynolds 2023
I bought two pieces of poster board with the intention of making a Vision Board. With too many other things to do I doubt if I'll get to it any time soon. And with too little income, these are likely far into the future if at all. But for fun, I'll post my wish list here:
1. A countertop dishwasher. I do all my cooking and eating at home so I hand wash dishes 3 or more times a day. And my fingers are starting to be gnarled from arthritis. It would save me time to have a small appliance. There is no room in my tiny kitchen for a built-in or even a portable dishwasher, but if I were able to sell or rent out my condo in the future, the potential owner or tenant will likely be put off if there is no dishwasher. When I raise an extra $200 I may order one from Walmart for my birthday, July 16.
2. A newer golf cart. My 2005 EZGO's top speed is 13 miles per hour and doesn't take me to places I need to go, like the South Clubhouse, Publix, Aldi's, dentist office, etc. I'd like an EZGO that has a turn signal indicator and lights – so I can travel at night inside the community – and can go up to 25 miles an hour, taking me farther and faster. $7,000 is not in my budget... and an upcoming dental expense may kill that dream.
UPDATE: I was able to trade in my 2005 golf cart for a faster 2004 golf cart that had turn signals, better batteries and better headlights.
3. A walk-in shower. Something simple. I don't need glass doors; I can hang a shower curtain. My tub shower is difficult to step into because lifting my bad knee is painful. I've lost my balance a few times as a result, but thankfully I have a grab bar at one end that has kept me upright. The going rate of $10,000 is not in my budget either.
4. A Winnebago Travato. At $130,000 for a used model this is likely to be nothing more than a fantasy. These start at $175,000 for a new one. But a girl can dream. What I should do instead is figure out ways to get the funds to repair my 2004 Ford E-350 so it's drivable again, and perhaps one day I will live in it full-time.
